The only thing worse than reddit, ugh. "How do I do Thing X with Software Y and Hardware Z?"

2018: google it, click first link

2024: google that "+ reddit", look through a bunch of reddit threads

soon: join some semi-private discord, wait a day for the invite to go through, ask in chat until someone who knows XYZ is around and has time to answer. your question and the answer disappear into the void.

Interesting they call this place a cesspool when people literally had to force Reddit's hand to get rid of pedophile and revenge porn subreddits which they gladly would have just sat on otherwise lol.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

That’s GBS moderator Seth Pecksniff. While he’s the sheriff and moral touchstone for GBS he does not own the forums.

I loled

Having originally regged in 07 I don’t think I’d ever call SA a cesspool. Pockets of pus here and there for sure .Also Reddit has some value but dear god the frequent first comment being a pseudo witty remark followed by a series of dumber and dumber coattail comments and puns gets old real fast.

yeah I doubt there is style guidance for "cesspool" and it's also fine to say "the NYT is cesspool of rich people's kids that's completely broken but kept around because the land owner and code-enforcement officer were fraternity brothers at Yale"
